IOL injectors and associated methods are described. An IOL injector may include a collapsible portion configured to reduce the length of the IOL injector when the collapsible portion is altered from an uncollapsed configuration to a collapsed configuration. In some instances, an IOL may be advanced from a storage location to a dwell location when the collapsible portion is altered from the uncollapsed configuration to the collapsed configuration. An IOL injector may include one or more of a hydraulic damper and a ribbed damper.

Systems, methods, and devices for inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly into an eye may be provided. A device for delivery of the IOL into the eye may include a housing; a nozzle operatively coupled to the housing; a first cylinder movably disposed within the housing; a second cylinder movably disposed within the housing, wherein the second cylinder is in fluid communication with the first cylinder; a plunger at least partially and movably disposed within the first cylinder; and a shaft movably disposed within the second cylinder, wherein the shaft is configured to move toward the lens component.

An IOL injector plunger having IOL compression arms is described.

An intraocular lens implanter and a preloaded type intraocular lens implantation device, which can improve the operational reliability of the injection member so as to improve the operational reliability of rolling or folding of the intraocular lens in an expected direction. In the intraocular lens implanter the inner cavity of the implantation head is provided with a guide portion, where the guide portion has a shape approaching the movement route of the push pin from rear to front, so that the push pin can push the movable piece of the pressing plate on the guide portion, and the movable piece applies downward force to the push pin in turn, thereby the push pin performs the injection operation under the state that the head portion of the push pin keeps in contact with the lower surface of the inner cavity of the implantation head.

Delivery devices for delivering an ophthalmic device into an eye. In some embodiments the delivery devices are adapted to deliver an intraocular lens into an eye.

An intraocular lens (IOL) injector with speed regulation for inserting an IOL into a capsular bag of an eye includes an injector body, a cavity, a cartridge ending at a distal end in an injection nozzle, the injector body, the cavity and the cartridge having a channel extending in axial direction, and an axially movable pusher rod advanced by a spring through a shaft, the pusher rod being arranged in the channel of the injector body for pushing the IOL in axial direction out of the cavity and into the cartridge the injection nozzle and finally into the capsular bag of the eye. The pusher rod is engaged with a mechanical speed regulator to limit the maximum speed of injection of the IOL into the eye up to a preset maximum speed for IOL injection, and the speed regulator system is responsive to a user actuation on a lever.

Intraocular lens delivery devices and methods of use.

The invention relates to an injector assembly comprising a folding chamber which is designed to receive an intraocular lens having a lens body and two haptics, and comprising a holder, a folding wedge which is attached to the holder and is designed to be introduced into the folding chamber in an insertion direction via a folding chamber opening and to thereby fold the intraocular lens, and two sliders which are each designed to shift one of the two haptics onto the lens body via a shifting of the respective slider out of an initial position and into an end position, wherein at least one of the two sliders has a stop which is designed to abut a component attached to the holder in the initial position of the at least one slider, whereby a movement of the component is blocked and the folding wedge is thereby not permitted to fold the intraocular lens, and said stop is designed to permit the movement of the component in the end position of the at least one slider and the folding wedge is thereby permitted to fold the intraocular lens.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for securing a drug delivery component to an intraocular lens (IOL) assembly. The systems generally include a support base and a plunger. The support base includes a first portion configured to accommodate a drug delivery component; and a second portion configured to act as a plunger guide. The plunger can be inserted into the plunger guide such that the plunger is positioned to interface with a drug delivery component and an IOL assembly during use. The plunger includes an elongated body and a tip, wherein the tip can include a ramp configured to interface with a fixation loop of a drug delivery component during use and a compartment configured to interface with a haptic of an IOL assembly during use.

An injector for intraocular lenses has a housing and a plunger movable within the housing. An elastomeric sleeve is sized and shaped to fit around a portion of the plunger, providing damping friction opposing the movement of the plunger. The sleeve is sterile and disposable, allowing a new sleeve to be used for each procedure.
